AEW Women's World Champion Willow Nightingale is set to defend her title against Mercedes Moné at All In on Sunday at Wembley Stadium despite carrying what she says is a broken left hand. She addressed Moné on AEW's "Collision" programme with her hand wrapped, insisting she would retain the championship regardless of injury, following a storyline backstage assault by Moné the previous week.

Nightingale told POST Wrestling that scans were still needed to determine the severity of the break, which would dictate how much wrist and hand movement she could rely on during the bout. She also told OutKick she expects a "split" reaction from the London crowd, acknowledging Moné's popularity despite her villainous persona, and said she is prepared for a gruelling fight befitting AEW's world championship level.
